Promises Are Made To Keep (On Hold)

Promise to have Fun

I didn't get any comments on my first chapter. And I only got four reads. that's not enough. I wanted to know if my writing was good. I don't really care if you think my writing is good or not. Plenty of people have told me that I'm a great writer. I'm going to keep writing even if I don't get any reads or comments or anything. But that doesn't mean that I don't want comments. So please comment.

XOXO Jelana

When we got home I took a shower to get my mind off of our waitress, Jake. He was smoking hot and thought I was cute. But he was making fun of how red my face was.

And that smile, I couldn't stop looking at his smile. His perfectly white teeth flashed at me every time he walked by our table. And his muscles were...wait!

I was supposed to be getting my mind off of him. Not thinking about his unbelievably gorgeous features.

Did he just move here or something? I've been to that IHOP enough times to know all of the waitresses, and I've never seen him before in my life.

After I got out the shower I put my damp hair in a ponytail. I put on a green t-shirt and a pair of jeans.

I looked at my clock and it was only eight thirty in the morning. Now what am I gonna do? I thought to myself, then heard a soft knock on my door. "Come in." I said laying back on my bed.

"Jamie, your friends are here." Jake said poking his head in my room.

"Did you let them in?" I asked sitting up.

"Of course he did." said a familiar voice as my door was pushed wide open.

I saw Madeline, Sofia, Victoria and Veronica standing in the hallway with two plastic bags. Probably snacks and a couple movies. They've been my best friends since I can remember.

"Maddie, Sofie, Tori, Roni," I said walking towards them, "What are you doing here?"

Victoria and Veronica, the ones we call Tori and Roni, held up the plastic bags they were holding. "Movie time!" they said in unison.

Tori and Roni are twins, they do everything together. Well, mostly everything. Tori is the girly girl and loves pink while Roni is athletic, good at every sport, and hates pink. You would never catch Roni in anything pink and you would never catch Tori playing any sport.

Maddie is the badass. Although she can be really nice sometimes, she doesn't take crap from anyone. And she is overly protective of her little brother Matthew. Matthew is Jake's best friend.

Sofie is like me. She isn't a girly girl and she isn't an athlete. She's good at most sports but not all. Sofie is an older sister of two girls and three boys. Samantha is twelve, Bobby is eight, Timothy and Thomas are five year old twins, and Britney is two.

We all hugged then scattered to different parts of my room. I sat on my bed. Sofie sat beside me on my bed. Maddie sat on my desk instead of the chair like she always did. Tori and Roni sat on the couch in the middle of the room.

I had forgotten Jake was standing at my door until he spoke, "Jamie, how come you're the only one without a nickname?"

"Because I don't need or want one. And mainly because when we were about your age we wanted all of our name to rhyme," I told him, "and it just stuck."

He had a confused look on his face like he was thinking about something. "Oh, I get it now!" he yelled like he just found the cure for cancer, "All of your names end with the 'e' sound." Then he started down the hallway leaving my door open.

"So what's his name?" Tori asked me as I closed my room door.

I tried to give her my most convincing confused look. "Who's name?" I asked.
